Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Nike Waffle Racer Trainers are designed for casual wear and heritage style, not for high-performance athletic events like marathons.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.

How should I store my Nike Waffle Racers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
